    Umm...what?

    As for your comp, its usually because of spyware. AVG doesn't clean spyware.

    Another reason could be the usage of ram. Try deleting unnecessary stuff. Like unused games, and programs.

    3 solutions....
    1 . Download avg anti virus and avg anti spyware free version and use it
    2 . System roll back to like before you had virus
    3 . Go to search > all files and folders > by date > date created > and delete all except registry (only if u know when u got the virus)

    Have you checked your memory?
    Windows needs at LEAST 10 gigs to run smoothly.


    Also, How much ram do you have?
    If you have a low amount that is being taken up 100% of the time, this will cause your "slow" openings , etc. (Background programs like Limewire)

    Yeah I agree, no one listens to the rules. There is a tech section, though what can you do. No one listens, so i have given in.

    Some of use consider each other friends here so getting help the fastest way would be to come here. I dont see anything wrong with that, tho we all know this is the wrong forum.


    http://www.malwarebytes.org/

    Sounds like he has a Trojan virus, which if isnt caught fast can kill your pc. Disabling your Control Panel and all Admin Tools. It sucks

    I havnt got a malicious program since i installed Malware Bytes

    So good

    I recommend it for everyone.

    Along with Windows Defender. lol

    Lol, super lucky. Ive had some friends say that happened before, but honestly its not worth the risk. It just sucks when it does finally happen. Might as well be prepared

    You might want to try some Registry cleaners.

    Maybe get Crap Cleaner too just to clear your cookies n such


    EDIT: Also, you might wanna check out this site:
    http://www.techsupportalert.com/

    It has some RAM progs and just some of the best ware you can find for your pc.

    As is, the system restore isnt there to be used whenever you want. From what ive learned and been told, doing system restore can hurt your pc just as much as help it. (if that makes any sense lol)

    Better off just reinforcing your pc to the fullest and letting it take care of its biznass

    There are exceptions for everything. Im sure you doing it will be fine for awhile, but more than likely, it will hurt. Tho buy that time, since you can play crysis, your most likely going to have a new pc. (gotta love how fast technology moves)

    Wrong forum..... but.. there is multiple things...

    Seeings how most things are browser related... trying deleting you're internet cache (* tempory internet files ) ... then do some spring cleaning on you're hard drive delete un needed things.... atleast 10 gb free memory... ( inless you have a older hard drive "but you get my point") ... then check cntrl+ alt delete and check the process you have running make sure there isnt any harmful or useless memory usage... then... do a disc defrag... defrag the hardrive i mean... because after a while things get stuck... and they start to hate
    you're hard drive... finally.... get rid of avg because avg is a piece of dodo... Im using avast right now ( not most perfered ) but... I like it and its doing its job well...

    nod32 isnt free. I suggest Ad-aware since it is probably one of the best anti-spyware program that is free. Spybot i havent tried in years, but when i first started using ad-aware and spybot, ad-aware was detecting more spywares and adwares than spybot.

    Windows Defender is a GREAT program thats free for all windows legit users.

    CCleaner is also a great way to delete stuff that you never knew existed. Freed up 600 megabytes of junk in all temporary files.

    AVG is a good antivirus program, though i never tried AntiVir. Ill try that

    I dont suggest getting a registry cleaner,
    why?

    if you aren't adept to regedit... well you might really mess up your PC.
    You should know what the program is doing rather than blindly
    letting it do w/e it wants your to PC.

    I'm not saying they're bad programs, its just due to the users incapacity,
    it might be more of a hassle than what its worth.
